Pros

Yes, we are building cars, but more importantly we are building a better future for generations ahead. I left my 11-year career to be a part of a brand that is shifting the market towards changing our planet. The energy and spirit within Rivian is unlike anything I have experienced. The passion to build upon a sustainable future is remarkable. I can only thank our leader RJ for giving us this opportunity. Without his vision and genuine interest to make the world a better place this would not be a possibility today. If you have interest to work for a company that has a mission you can personally contribute to then Rivian is where its at!

Cons

It's challenging, we are growing RAPIDLY, timelines are aggressive, some processes are undefined, you will work hard (but smart & efficient). To me, these aren't cons, they are the reality towards the mission of this company & the positive impact we are trying to make on the future. The journey to greatness requires some obstacles

Prep for the Adventure Ahead

Pros

Look over your rations, do a final gear check, and pack your bags for the long haul because you are in for one big adventure. You'll need all your tools to succeed here and will get a chance to put to practice new ideas and skills you worked hard at honing. This is the mountaineer's route and it takes grit and skill to make the climb. The product and product plan is fantastic, the long term company plan is solid, we have an amazing core culture that I know the OG crew won't let die, and most importantly we have a CEO that listens. This place is not for the faint of heart, or those ill prepared for the adventure; You will be constantly expanding what you think is your limit.

Cons

Expect to push really hard to succeed Multiple locations necessitates the need to over communicate Space is tight at times

Pros

Rivian is a company with highly talented employees who possess skills and knowledge from many different industries resulting in a diverse workforce. The culture at Rivian is amazing and there are endless opportunities on a daily basis for each employee to contribute to the company's success. Rivian puts a lot of effort into ensuring that their employees have the right tools to do their job. The workplace is not only a desirable place to come each day but also one that makes employees feel valued. At Rivian there is open and comfortable communication whether you are talking to the person sitting next to you or RJ the CEO. And to top it off, the upcoming products are going to be amazing.

Cons

With launching amazing products comes a lot of hard work and dedication. Coming to Rivian this should be expected and not a surprise. If you are someone not willing to put in the effort than this may not be the right company for you.
